Hey everyone, this is my first post.
Ive had my z4 for almost 2 years now and ive wanted to lower it ever since (i hate the fender gap). My car has about 45k miles and has sport package. The reason im thinking of just getting the springs (for a while) is because I dont have a job and $935+install (tire rack) is way too much money than i can afford. But I can scrape up the money for $250+install for the Eibach's. Im going to nursing school soon, so getting a job is not an option (class and clinicals are 40 hours a week + studying). School will end Sep. '09, by then i'll have a decent income to pay for the struts.
My questions are, can I ride on stock struts until then? How long do stock springs/stock struts normally last? How long do stock struts w/ Eibachs last? Would i need a camber kit or any other parts with the suspension? I drive about 10-12k miles a year, which would put my car at about 60-65k miles by the end of next year. Also, this would be mainly for cosmetic purposes, im not too concerned with improving handling, but I dont want to worsen it either. Thanks.
